North Lincolnshire Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile in North Lincolnshire during April 2025, accounting for 41.5% of all reported incidents. This category, at 3.2 per 1,000 residents, was 23% higher than the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, a significant divergence that underscores the area’s distinct challenges. The overall crime rate of 7.7 per 1,000 matched the UK average, but the concentration of violent crime suggests a different pattern compared to other regions. Anti-social behaviour (11.0%) and shoplifting (8.5%) followed as the next most common categories, though both remained below or slightly above UK rates. The seasonal context of April—marked by the Easter period and spring weather—likely influenced these trends, with increased outdoor activity potentially contributing to higher levels of public order offences and anti-social behaviour. However, the absence of a notable rise in property crime, which accounted for 31.6% of all incidents, contrasts with typical seasonal patterns seen in more tourist-heavy areas. This suggests that local factors, such as the area’s demographic composition or socio-economic dynamics, may be more influential than broader seasonal effects. The data also highlights a mixed picture for specific categories: while anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime were below the UK average, the rate of violence and sexual offences and possession of weapons were elevated. These findings reflect a combination of local conditions and broader national trends, requiring further analysis to understand the underlying causes. The stability in the overall crime rate, despite fluctuations in individual categories, indicates a relatively consistent picture of crime in North Lincolnshire compared to the UK as a whole.

April 2025 saw a 90.9% increase in possession of weapons, rising from 11 to 21 incidents, a stark contrast to the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000. This spike may partly explain the elevated rate of violence and sexual offences, which stood at 3.2 per 1,000—23% above the national average. Meanwhile, robbery and theft from the person both declined sharply, with robbery falling by 45.5% (from 11 to 6) and theft from the person dropping by 33.3% (from 3 to 2). These decreases align with the UK average for robbery, which is 0.1 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour also rose by 9%, reaching 146 incidents, though this remains 32% below the UK rate of 1.3 per 1,000. The crime mix shows a clear skew toward violent offences, with property crimes accounting for only 31.6% of all reported incidents. This imbalance may reflect local factors such as community dynamics or seasonal activity patterns, particularly during the Easter period.

North Lincolnshire's crime rate in April 2025 was 7.7 per 1,000 residents, matching the UK average. This follows a 4.4% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 8.1 per 1,000, reflecting a slight reduction in overall activity. Daily crime statistics show an average of 44 crimes reported each day, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents within the local area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 129 residents, a metric that illustrates the monthly exposure to crime for individuals living in North Lincolnshire. This rate aligns with the population of 171,336, offering a clear snapshot of how crime is distributed across the district. The decline from March suggests a potential seasonal shift, though the absence of significant changes in the broader crime mix indicates that underlying patterns remain consistent. This comparison highlights the stability of crime trends in the area, even as specific categories like violent crime and anti-social behaviour show distinct variations.
